got superior Z caps on the tweeter section of the crossover and just standard jantzen caps on the mids.

damn crossovers set me back nearly $600.. not including drivers, accessories etc

I love the sound they produce, and the bass from the 5" woofers? is crazy for the size. Id love to run a MTM configuration with these later on, but the cost of new cabinets, crossover parts and the driver might not be worth it

I actually wanted to keep my proac clones, however these just seem to work so much better in the room, and after comparing music back to back, the ellam XT's (pictured above) are just better, more natural sounding, smoother midrange, just love them

Im running revelators in the car too, with illuminator tweeters (drivers side) still trying to finish this off though

in fact, bloody sony are using them in their reference speakers at nearly $30k u.s they are using an air circ tweeter and the 15m though
Id love to add a 8" scan onto my speakers

so did you sell the ProAc clones in the end? I notice the tardme auction but they seemed to be pretty cheapskate bidders . I just got me the Sjofn Clue bookshelves of trademe. Now i'm trying to decide between Peachtree Decco or the Wadia 151 so many difficult choices

I know I wanted quite a bit for them when you originally asked me, however at the time it was very early days for me.

Im half and half about selling them, they just dont seem to work to well in the room, sounded great at my previous place though..
I much prefer the sound of the scanspeak 2905/9500 tweeters (in the clones) over the XT25 vifa's, although the vifa's seem to have a much nicer top end / sparkle to them

im actually eyeing up some scanspeak revelator 9800 series tweeters, as apparently they are drop in replacements over the xt25's i.e. same crossover slopes/points same size cutout, however they are nearly $200 a piece!

Interesting choice above, have you considered just using a PC as a source and higher end sound card or digital out?
I noticed Parts express are doing quite a few kitset amps now at quite good prices

yeah tested 7.1 with the additional 685's but my 683's weren't being driven without bi'amping, sold my 684's and kept 685's as surrounds, the 685's for a bookshelf speaker are really nice, 684's were just too large as surrounds.
